CHESTERTON, Ind., May 10 (UPI) -- One Indiana teenager was arrested for hitting another teenager with his car but both say it wasn't malicious but a stunt gone wrong.

Stephen Domonkos said his friend Michael Morris likes to do daredevil stunts, and persuaded Domonkos to hit him with his car, The Munster (Ind.) Times reported Wednesday.

The 18-year-old agreed but instead of ending with a load of adrenaline and laughs as the two have done before, 17-year-old Morris was taken to Porter Valpraiso Hospital Campus with a broken leg and arm and road rash.

The Times said the Chesterton, Ind., residents planned the stunt for Saturday outside a fast-food restaurant where Domonkos works.

Morris told him to run into him but faster than in past stunts and Domonkos said he got to about 25 mph when he hit Morris, who broke the windshield and ended up on the ground, screaming in pain.

Domonkos was charged with felony criminal recklessness causing serious bodily injury.

Morris told the newspaper, "I won't do this no more."
